GPDR Compliance

I asked our account rep this question and while she is researching internally, it was suggested that this question also be posted to the community through this channel.

"Does Blackboard as a company feel they have met the requirements to mitigate any potential issues with GDPR? Is the pop-up notice “Privacy, cookies and terms of use” considered sufficient for consent from an end user? Is there anything specific Blackboard recommends we do in regards to GDPR and our Blackboard environment?"

You can find more information on our comprehensive approach to GDPR in our GDPR white paper (PDF). The white paper also explains (on page 6) that consent is not always required and often not the best legal basis that allows for the use of personal information. You can find helpful GDPR resources in this post. Please feel free to contact me directly at privacy@blackboard.com if you have any further questions.
